I am grateful for:
Jenna: always keeping it real and reminding me that "this sh-t isn't ok" and not to just stick with the "the program.
Brandi: for always being calm, kind and good vibes. The things you say and do are teaching 'signposts' for me.
Ian: for always thinking differently. for reminding me to go my own way when something doesn't feel right to me
Thomas: for taking charge whenever charge needs to be taken and coming up with better ideas when I overthink
Juliet: for your willingness to be open and flexible with us as we all figure out how to do this DL with SPED.
